Update your profile

Your comments identify you as the author by displaying your name—the name you provided when you joined or started a review, or your system login. You can change the author name and other profile information at any time. If you do, your updated profile appears only in new comments; existing comments aren’t affected.

Update your review profile

You can also update your review profile from the Welcome Back To Review window that appears when you rejoin a shared review.
  1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows/UNIX) or Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).
  2. To change your author name, select Commenting from the list on the left, and deselect Always Use Log-In Name For Author Name.
  3. Select Identity from the list on the left.
  4. Edit your profile, making sure to include the email address that you’ll use for reviews. Click OK.

Update your profile for a shared review

  1. Open the shared PDF.
  2. In the Welcome screen that appears, click the Edit button for Reviewer Profile.
  3. Edit your profile, making sure to include a valid email address, and click OK.

    If you change the name in your profile, it will appear twice—in the list of invited participants, and in the list of uninvited participants.
